| Darwinianevolution said: Actually, Nintendo has other businesses, like animation, toys, pokémon cards and other kinds of merchandising.And a baseball team (don't remember the name). I don't know how profitable this things are, but I'm sure they make decent money, not as much as their main business, but decent nonetheless. |
majority of all you just said fall under merchandising. Which everyone including sony and MS has. Eg, MS upcoming halp tv series. that falls under merchandising cause MS doesn't have a dedicated animation/movie arm. Sony has a dedicated video arm, that hands movies and animations and even a Tv station. Like if there were to be an uncharted movie, be rest assured that it would be made by columbia pictures or something.
I know a year or so ago nintendo dabbled in animation shorts of certain key franchises, but those shorts were made by third party animation studios.
